Sophisticated Sojourns 100 tours to inspire and delight from The New York Times` celebrated travel column Some travelers dig deep, with a sharp appetite for knowledge and minds wide open to what`s old and what`s new. In Cultured Traveler, the latest in the travel book collaborations between The New York Times and TASCHEN, these adventurers hum to Mozart in Vienna and tap their toes to dance music in Dar es Salaam. They pursue Hamlet in Elsinore, Picasso on the French Riviera, and Le Corbusier in India. They follow in the footsteps of Georgia O`Keeffe, Jackie Kennedy, and even Jesus. Through 100 stories of their trips around the globe, talented Times travel writers and photographers invite readers to share in their discoveries. Pack your suitcase with curiosity for a trek to see Buddhist cave art in China or an afternoon of kayaking in Germany`s intriguing and idyllic Spreewald. Challenge your senses along with your wits tasting maple syrup in Quebec or octopus snacks at a Japanese baseball game, sniffing the flowers in French perfume country, and sipping Cognac in none other than the place called Cognac. And, as always, sample each writer`s unique point of view. Henry Shukman, poet and teacher of Zen, hikes in England on Europe`s oldest road amid a landscape he describes as “elemental, austere, with a kind of monumental elegance.” Jason Wilson, the series editor for The Best American Travel Writing, follows the trail of the Stradivarius in fascinating prose, though he confesses, “I do not, in fact, play the violin.” The veteran travel writer and author Tony Perrottet, with Sydney`s art scene as Exhibit A, sets out to prove that “Australia has a lot more to offer than rampant hedonism and cuddly koalas.” The best travel is both fun and a learning experience. With Times-quality journalism and visuals, illuminating historic photos, and tips on what to read and watch for inspiration, Cultured Traveler gets you in the thick of it.

4. Animals, Steve McCurry
In Animals, we discover a different side to the famed photographer who skillfully explores animals’ complex relationship with humans and the environment. Tenderness abounds, particularly in scenes of unkempt street dogs sleeping contentedly next to a human. But there’s also a kind of essential solitude, with animals belonging to no one and simply wandering through life with only their survival instincts to guide them. We witness camels caught in the crossfire during the fir...

12. Finnegans Wake. Wordsworth Classics wer. angielska, James Joyce
Finnegans Wake is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia Plurabelle and their family - their book, but in a curious way the book of us all as well as all our books. Joyce's last great work, it is not comprised of many borrowed styles, like Ulysses, but, rather, formulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape. This 'language' is based on English vocabulary and syntax but, at the same time, self-consciously designed to function as a pun machine with an astonishing capacity for resi...

Dziś to już na szczęście historia, gdyż ziemie te odradzają się zarówno jeśli chodzi o gospodarkę, jak i tradycje.Wzdłuż i wszerz przemierzył Polskę Wschodnią z aparate...
